    Horrible

    This is potentially the worst film I have ever seen. Without spoilers, as there are no surprises

    There are no surprises, the actors are awful, the storyline is questionable and it was a total waste of 1,5 hours.

    Award for bad acting goes to this movie.

    I seriously recommend NOT watching this movie. Not even the concept of it is particularly appealing.

    There was no point in the movie that sparked an interest in me. Boredom and the fact that I bought the movie kept me from stopping it at an earlier stage.

    Awaiting The Cure 2, where the same actions will be performed by different people in a different pharmaceutical company.

    Not horrible

    The few reviews of this movie make it out to be a horrible blockbuster. Take it for what it is, a movie that really should have been a documentary on the current state of the Cancer industry. Yes its a bunch of B or C actors you've never heard of, so? I was playing video games and watching the movie, so maybe it wasn't as bad to me because I wasn't 100% focused on it. Anyhow the movie is true to the idea that there really is a cancer cure and its easily obtainable, yet the drug companies make billions off not having a cure, so they would do anything to kill actual progress in finding a cure.

    On the other hand, I'm not sure how this was made into a movie, lol. If the topic of cancer interests you, this movie might also. Not worth your time based on actor performances, cinematography (the entire movie takes place basically inside a lab), dialog, or strength in plot.

    The budget isn't even the biggest problem

    Sometimes I see movies, where at the end i'm like..This could have been great with a bigger budget. This isn't that kind of film. The story starts to get very unrealistic way too soon. The characters make way too many stupid choices. So I just kept thinking "Why!!!??!!"

    Then there's the annoying looking in the camera. I love it when Kevin Spacey does it, but here they do it when talking to another character. Which is quite distracting and keeps you from really getting into the movie.

    O yeah and then there's the sound editing. It seems that someone sometimes accidentally hit the off switch while mid-scene. Really quite confusing

    Worst

    This is the worst "action" movie I have ever seen. It doesn't deserve an in-depth analysis. It took me two separate sittings to finish the movie.

    I am a big supporter of independent films and this didn't match up to you tube independent films.

    The acting was corny, the buildups were predictable, and the smoke did not make any sense. It started as yellow but turned into cheap fog machine smoke?

    I do not know what made me watch this film but it is not a surprise that it is not well known. Trust me, do not waste your time.

    Not a bad movie at all

    It's a OK movie with an OK story.

    I like the flashback parts in the movie which is a big plus. Background music is good. However, the movie lacks depth in screenplay and lots of plot hole.The actors were OK.

    For the budget they have spent, we cant ask for great graphics. A better characterization for all the actors and more screen time for CEO would have made the film better.

    Its definitely not a 3.5 movie or worst movie I have ever seen. It deserves 6 for trying.

    I liked it because the initial 30 minutes were gripping and I will give it a 6 for their attempt.
